I just so happen to have just finished book. Life and teachings of milarepa, and what a joy it was. I like the hunter when they find milarepa and because he is so skinny they think he’s a ghost. To be in a cave so long your clothes fall off in tatters is special, not your average retreat.what a joy.
Dear SJ, Before I began listening daily to your beautiful Angelic Recordings in 2020, I had first learned of the Heart ♥️ Sutra through practice of Kobyashi Shoren Ryu KarateDo🥋, in which training all katas are considered as Form and as Emptiness…simultaneously Thank you for such a wonderful recording-reading of this auspicious Sutra 🙏 Kevin Lee DO, 5th Dan Shoren Ryu KarateDO ♥️🥋💮
Rawwwwrr! May we all be like a lion! One only throws a stick at a lion once! ❤ Thank you for this wonderful surprise. Always so excited to see what you are going to read next dearest Yayasara!
Yay. Finally some Milarepa. My spiritual journey started with this book... when it was mentioned by the Mountain Yogi (Lama Gobind) as the only book he needed to read. Thanks!

There have been many who many have said to be enlightened who have built great things. It seems to me that balance is the teaching of what is true whether the teacher be labeled as enlightened or any other label. 🙏
" Milarepa was a mystic who lived in Tibet. One day a young man came to him and said, “I want to attain some powers. Please give me a mantra.” Milarepa said, “We don’t have any mantras. We are mystics. Mantras are for magicians, for jugglers - go to them. We don’t have any mantras - why should we need powers?” But the more Milarepa refused, the more the young man thought that there must be something there - why else should he refuse? So he kept returning to Milarepa again and again. Great crowds always gather around the saints who drive people away with sticks or throw stones at them. The crowds think that the saint must have something special otherwise he would not be driving people away. But we don’t realize that attracting people through an advertisement in a newspaper or through throwing stones at them, is the same trick. The propaganda is the same. And the second way is more manipulative and cunning. When people are driven away by someone throwing stones, they don’t understand that they are actually being attracted. This is a subtle way of doing it. And the people do come although they have no idea that they have been seduced. The young man thought that perhaps Milarepa was trying to hide something so he started coming everyday. In the end Milarepa got fed up so he wrote him a mantra on a paper and said, “Take this. Tonight is the night of no moon. Read this five times during the night. If you read it five times, you will get the power you want. Then you will be able to do whatever you want to do. Now go and leave me alone.” The young man grabbed the paper and turned round and ran. He did not even thank Milarepa. But he had not descended the steps of the temple when Milarepa called after him, “My friend! I forgot to tell you one thing. There is a certain condition attached to this mantra. When you read it, you should not have any thoughts in your mind about a monkey.” The young man said, “Don’t be worried, I have never had such a thought in my whole life. There has never been any reason to think of a monkey. I have to read this only five times. There is no problem.” But he made a mistake. He had not even descended to the bottom of the steps when the monkeys started coming. He became very scared. He closed his eyes and there were monkeys inside; he looked outside and even where there were no monkeys, he saw some! It was already night, and every movement in the trees seemed to be a monkey. It seemed that monkeys were everywhere. By the time he got home he was very worried because up until then he had never thought about monkeys. He had never had anything to do with them. He took a bath, but while he was bathing the monkeys were with him. His whole mind was obsessed with only one thing - monkeys. Then he sat down to read the mantra. He picked up the paper, closed his eyes - and there was a crowd of monkeys inside teasing him. He became very much afraid, but still he persevered the whole night. He changed his positions; he tried to sit in this way, in that way, in padmasana, in siddhasana, in other different yoga postures. He prayed, he bowed, he begged; he cried out to anybody to help him get rid of these monkeys. But the monkeys were adamant. They were not ready to leave him that night. By the morning the young man was almost mad with fear and he realized that the mantra power could not be attained so easily. He saw that Milarepa had been very clever, he had put a difficult condition on him. Milarepa was crazy! If there was going to be a hindrance because of the monkeys then at least he should not have mentioned them. Then perhaps the mantra power could have been attained. In the morning he went back to Milarepa crying and said, “Take your mantra back. You have made a big mistake! If monkeys were a hindrance in using this mantra, then you should not have mentioned them. I never usually think of monkeys but the whole of last night the monkeys chased me. Now I will have to wait for my next life to attain this mantra power because in this life this mantra and the monkeys have become united. Now it is not possible to get rid of them.” The monkeys had become united with the mantra. How did they become united? His mind insisted that the monkeys should not be there and so the monkeys came. Whenever his mind tried to get rid of the monkeys, the monkeys appeared. Whenever his mind tried to escape from the monkeys the monkeys came. To forbid is to attract; to refuse is to invite; to prevent is to tempt. Our mind has become very sick because we don’t understand this simple point."
why would someone waste this very only opportunity gained after millions of eons in reading and learning the systems of the sutras and vinayas, when the direct access to the nature of the mind is still available for all seeking liberation in one single lifetime? 🙏
Divine Beings - Desire is natural and from the absolute - Tempering or not being solely governed by those desires is your free will, your doing! If nothing was desired, your parents would not desire sex, and you would not be existing in your body at this moment reading this! Eternal Love❤️❤️❤️
I keep asking questions, and they may seem tedious to answer. My apologies. What does it mean to "run after thoughts" and, conversely, to let thoughts naturally arise and settle? If I let my thoughts naturally arise, I will be somewhere else entirely with them in seconds. That is, if I don't stop them. I'm not chasing after them; they just go. Does letting them end up where they end up mean I'm chasing after them, or does it mean I'm letting them settle naturally? Letting them go where they are apt to seems like monkey mind to me. So just what does it really mean to not chase after them? Or what does it mean to let them naturally arise and settle? I can't for the life of me figure out what advice like this is supposed to be like in actual practice. My continued thanks.
Howdy, you mention above in your reflections: "I'm not chasing after them; they just go." That's exactly the answer to your questions about how to deal with thoughts. To let thoughts naturally arise and settle means to allow the natural flow of mental processes but not to indulge or repress them. One's attitude and understanding has to radically change towards thoughts themselves, and you should investigate deeply to see exactly what thoughts are. If you do this and see this for yourself, then thoughts will no longer be a problem or hold any sway over you. Firstly, you need to recognise that thoughts are just are natural process as a result of conditioning which arise from the Ground of Being. In and of themselves they are NOT a problem - they are a natural display and if we make a problem out of them they only getting bigger and stronger. So allow them to arise, but be AWAKE and mindful - don't get pulled in to them, don't run away with them, and don't get tricked into believing any of them, especially the negative self talk but even the good ones. But also don't try to repress or control them - that will only make you tight and tense. Learn to be light about them, laugh at them and take them all with a grain of salt. If you adopt that attitude they will quickly settle and subside and with time and practice become less and less. Secondly, when the mind becomes more calm and settled in meditation, you can actually investigate thoughts clearly and see for yourself what they are in Reality. What are they? Nothing....they are merely fleeting, ephemeral dream impressions that float in the mind sky. They are not really different from night time dreams. They cannot harm you, they cannot hurt you - they are complete fairy floss. They only cause harm when we believe them and take them as 'me' or 'my thoughts' and then all sorts of harm can arise from them. I hope some of this helps you to find your inner peace which is there all the time really and only clouded by these passing thoughts.
@@SamaneriJayasara excellent explanation as at times I do this and then forget and I needed clarity so I don't get caught in the trap oh no thoughts again
@Paul Thank Paul & same here ! Imagine with all the 'free-styling' there might be great new lineages omongst us; ... the root is unsteady, and the boatmen unskilful. The cart got stuck in the sand, but the destination still afar. Listen seekers … One who bonds, also need to separate. What a caterpillar considers death, the wise call butterfly. You might read the name of God over and over, You might store holy scripture in memory, This will not unveil. Instead, your learning and scholarship, might just sharpen greed for worldly things. None of the countless books you read, can destroy brutal ego. Indeed, none but the Saints can kill this inner thief, For it ravages the very house in which it lives. The gardener may pour a hundred pots (of water), only during the right season fruit appears. (Kabir) 🙏🌹 😉 0m mani padme hung Bro !

8:01 this has been my philosophy for many years

its a lot easier to give up desire when you have experienced all desires, and yet they multiply, but just one more desire...
